Salam Alaikum and welcome to eHarmony, where we help build great, long-lasting relationships. We listen to what’s important to Muslim singles, whether they’re looking for marriage or just hoping to create meaningful connections with like-minded individuals. By completing our Relationship Questionnaire, we’re able to better understand you and what you’re looking for in a partner, which helps us find singles that are right for you. We look at your core traits, such as emotional temperament, sociability, and curiosity, and your attributes, such as your conflict resolution skills, your values and beliefs and your personal experiences. We then match you with other Muslim singles whose traits and attributes complement your own. As we’ve discovered, great relationships are founded on true compatibility. Long after the initial spark has diminished, truly compatible couples continue to grow and thrive as time goes on.

Communicate at your own pace

Once you’ve found a match you’d like to get to know better, you can choose to use Guided Communication, a process which allows you to learn more about your match’s interests and personality at a pace that suits you. You can compare the things that are really important to you in a partner – your “must haves” and your “can’t stands”. And you’ll be given the opportunity to really get to know each other, without the pressure of having to move faster than you’d like. You can feel safe and secure in the knowledge that you and your potential mate are getting to connect at a core level before the pressure of a face to face meeting.

Once you’ve connected with a match, you might like to meet up in person, so here are some fun ideas for a first date:

·Picnic in the park: Grab a blanket and some provisions and head to the Botanical Gardens in your city to enjoy a peaceful picnic in the park.

·Take a lift to the top: Enjoy a 360-degree view of your city from its highest point. In Melbourne head to the magnificent Eureka Tower and experience the rush of being at the highest public vantage point in the southern hemisphere. In Sydney, head to the eye at Centrepoint Tower for an unsurpassed view of the surrounding city. Or if you live in the country or a smaller town, try a look-out point over the town, coast or surrounding bush land.

·Coffee talk: There’s nothing like really getting to know each other over a cup of coffee – it’s even better when the coffee is top notch, so spend some time exploring your local coffee scene. In Melbourne, check out the famed Degrave Street cafés; in Adelaide, stop in at Coffee Branch on Leigh Street for a strong espresso, and in Brisbane, enjoy the fun, jungle-themed atmosphere of the Three Monkeys Coffee house in the West End.
